Austria's "Tiere der Alpen" zero-euro souvenir note is part of the broader European collector series that Oberthur Fiduciaire has been producing since 2015 — privately commissioned novelties that carry genuine euro-format security features but no legal tender status anywhere. The iridescent strip is real; the denomination is not. Oberthur holds the dominant position in this niche almost by default, having locked in relationships with tourist attractions and regional issuers across the continent before competitors recognized the market existed.
